Detecting common Zone file errors of Domains

The domain won't resolve if the zone file of the domain have any syntax errors or configuration errors.

So better way to understand the syntax or normal errors in the zone file is by running the command

named-checkzone domain.com domain.com.db on the server
where domain.com is the domain name and domain.com.db is the zone file.

 named-checkzone weibo520.com weibo520.com.db
zone weibo520.com/IN: loaded serial 2013011601
OK

If the zone file is correct then it will show the result as ok as above. If it has errors it will list the errors as well, so that it will be easier for us to investigate.
